The Love Affair(Good Wife Better Mistress)

obidient wife

Everything went fine for her. Even after their early marriage, things happened to work out very smooth. Unexpected, sudden, but at the same time, it was moreover pleasant. And she enjoyed every moment of her life. To be exact, she loved it. She loved her life. She loved her husband. She loved his family and her mother in law, Although her life seemed mundane, and everything seemed to be the same day after day, as her beloved's housewife, caring daughter in law, and a devoted doctor and writer everything went swell, he was supposedly an "overworked" businessman who never really had time for his one family. "I'll be home a little late today," he'd tell his wife. "It's work-related," he'd continuously lie. However, his wife would believe him. Every single time, without even much explanation, she'd reply, "Okay, honey. Be safe. Try to come home early as you can," and that would be the end of discussion. It didn't surprise him. She was always like that ever since before marriage. Kind, sweet, and innocent. She was kind enough to help an elderly cross over the street, sweet enough to serve his friends dinner when they came to visit, and innocent enough to believe every single lie he had said. Sometimes, even he wondered. When he said he loved her, did he truly do so, Or was it also falsified Was he even aware of his limits? Did he even have limits? Of all things to question himself, he never did ask or wonder, It was because she didn't care. She didn't mind. She understood.

However, there was also one thing. She didn't know. She finally reached her mother in laws beautifully decorated room and went closer to her bed. "mother, what's wrong?" Nicole said while she combed her blonde hair with her fingers. Then it struck her. It had been a whole full year since he stopped combing her hair. It was a sudden flashback, but even his smallest deeds meant the world to her. "nicole i was wondering why you and alex are not down for dinner, she questioned.Nicole already knew her mother in law could see everything that was going on in her marriage. "mama alex was tired and we fell asleep thats all,she said holding her mother's hand. "is alex taking care of you my dear?" Nicole crawled into bed next to her mother in law. "Of course mama we are happy and trying to concieve. alexandro loves me very, very much." She looked down at her mother in law who was tugging tightly closer to her. She had her sons eyes. Round, dark, somewhat mysterious at times, but beautiful and very appealing. She was also beautiful just like her son. Soon her eyes grew heavy and she went fast asleep, her mind entering her own dreamland nicole left her mother in laws room.

It was midnight Nicole couldn't get herself to sleep. She had a full day ahead of her, but her body was already wide-awake. So, she just lay there for another two minutes before she got up heading towards her study room. The study room was basically comparable to a mini-sized library. There were many shelves filled with all different assortments of books. On one corner, she had her own special collection of paperbacks. Manuscripts she had written for famous soap operas and dramas all over UK. Some were already made. Some were already in progress. Some were yet to be there. And the ones in her laptop were being continued and soon to come. Yes. She was famous. She was famed for creating masterpieces all over UK. Whether it'd be romance, romance comedy, or drama, she never seemed to fail her supporting fans. As she sat herself on the cool seat, she opened her laptop that was remained on the desk, and pressed the power button, waiting for it to load. When the light turned green indicating 'ready', she opened up her Microsoft document and began typing away. It was just like any other day she typed. The only difference was she wasn't typing away her new hit. She was making a special list of something. And with this list soon to be printed, she planned to share it with her favorite friend, Chanel.

The following day came, and her husband already left for work. Before he left, she had asked, "You're breakfast is ready. At least eat before you leave, honey." Then he replied, "I'm already late. I'll be back for dinner." Then hurriedly made his way out the front door. Nicole let out an exasperated sigh and got ready to clear the plates away. Then the doorbell rang having hopes, she skidded across the slippery marble floor all the way to the door. She opened it expecting it to be him, but instead, it was her brother in law sebastian, He was tall and built just like her husband, with two dark blue eyes, lighter skin, and neatly cut hairstyle. He appeared clean as usual. Looking at him, she asked rather surprised, "Good morning. Are you looking for alexandro?" "Yeah he didn't tell you?" he responded politely smiling back at her. "We were planning to work out together before work." "That's strange. He already left to work he left just now. You didn't see him?" Nicole said pointing outside which kind of looked hilariously amusing in his point of view. "Actually no. Well, that's strange." sebastian said rubbing his temples several times. "Would you like some breakfast? he left without touching anything." Nicole welcomed him in with a bright smile. "Oh Is that okay? I'm starved cos i see the whole family is not down yet." "Of course Of course, i was afraid thinking of all the food that was going to waste i made this specially for my husband, the chef is still preparing breakfast for the whole family they will be down. It's a great thing you showed up." Nicole made way to the kitchen and seated him where alexandro usually sat you're always welcome to join us." "thank you Nic you're always very kind.alex so lucky to have you." With this, she blushed. Trying to hide her shades of pink, she turned around and let out a small chuckle. It wasn't because sebastian complimented her. She just felt flattered in some sorts. Having to be alexandro's wife, it already felt like a dream, but for someone to say he was lucky to have her as a wife, the feeling was even more surreal. She believed she was the lucky one to have him. Soon after when he finished with the meal, he got up, and got ready to go to work himself. "Thank you for the food, Nicole. It was very good." He told her his gratitude and also went out the front door. "Come anytime," he heard her say, and yes, he most definitely wished to. His secretive feelings for her never changed ever since the first time they met at a party. It was work related, and all the employees were to invite their partners. On that day, Jamie brought her for the first time, and all eyes went towards the two couples.

sebastian dug into his pocket and took out his cell phone. He clumsily punched in the number dialing his friend. alex picked up on the other line answering, "Yeah?" "Hey. You already left to work?" sebatian asked already knowing the truth in his friend's story. "Why the hell ask if you already know where I am?" Then he heard another voice say, "Who is it, baby? Just hang up. Let's have some fun." sebastian scoffed. "Who is it this time? Same girl?" "We'll talk later." alex replied, and right before he could hang up, sebastian challenged, "Be careful. You might lose your wife this time." Then for the first time ever, he hung up himself. It was always the other way around. Never in thirteen years of knowing sebastian, alex let him hang up on him. In fact, he never really let anyone hang up on him. He was always the one who hung up first. It wasn't really because he needed to, it all just happened. However, having to be hung up by someone else, the feeling was new. And this time, he felt somewhat uneasy. He wasn't sure if he was to call back or not. Lose his wife this time? And how so? He didn't understand. What he didn't understand more was that his friend said something like that. It was as if he was... challenging him. Why? The questions remained unanswered.

On the other hand, Nicole went from one room to another holding her portable house phone closer to her ears. She spoke with her friend, "Can you come over today? There's something I need to tell you." "Goodness. I was planning to watch Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles." Her friend, Chanel whined over the phone line. "Interesting! Shall we watch it together?" Although it sounded like nonsense to any other being, this was quite normal. Nicole was always interested in such childish things. She never really grew up from that stage. And if she watched something a bit too mature or gruesome, she'd shut her eyes as tight as she could, and cover her ears until it started hurting "Are you kidding me? I was just joking. Like I'd watch something like that. I'm not you." Chanel said on the other line after letting out a sigh. "So, that means a no?" "My friend, you are an idiot." Shortly, Chanel came over, and Nicole welcomed her in. She already had the list in her hands. Well, that was obviously because she needed to talk about that. "So, what is it?" Chanel said seating herself on the living room couch. She made herself comfortable before listening to what her friend had to tell her. "Chanel. I think alexandro is... you know, changing. She stressed the word hoping to give it more emphasis and significance in her voice. She was concerned. Chanel looked over at her friend. She remembered Nicole as the energetic one. No matter what trouble came her way, she never let it disturb her. As one could say, Nicole was the strong optimistic individual. Nicole was still the same. It wasn't like she was shedding tears or anything. Yet, something was different. So she questioned, "And how so?" "Well, I made a list about all the things that have been not happening. The list is just growing more and more, day after day. And now I have a feeling maybe something's wrong with him. What if he's dying of a fatal disease and he can't tell me?" Nicole exclaimed worriedly with her two hands on her cheek. "Nicole. Sometimes I really can't tell if you're being serious." Chanel rubbed her temples vexed by her friend's stupidity. "Let me see the list." Nicole carefully handed it to her friend still having the thought something real bad happened to alexandro. How could she live without him? "Wow. He stopped massaging your feet. Big deal." However, looking at Nicole's desperate face, she read on. "Sorry to break it to you, but sometimes, males just change. It's nothing serious. At least he's not cheating on you." Nicole said letting the paper slip out of her hands as if to indicate everything was okay. "But the question is, is he cheating on you?" "Chanel, that's the worst joke I've ever heard. alexandro? Cheat on me? That's absurd." "You may not want to believe me, but sometimes, absurd things make sense." Chanel looked directly into her friend's eyes. "If he's cheating on you, you'd better find out now." Without even realizing it herself, Nicole asked, "How?" "I'll think of some plans, and I'll be back tomorrow."

After Chanel's take-off, Nicole waited eagerly for alexandro return. "I'll be back for dinner," he had told her. And she believed him. He would keep his promise. There was just no possible way he'd cheat on her. Oh, how surprised she would be.the phone rang once. Then it rang the second time. She quickly picked it up and answered, "Hello?" "Nicole, I won't be home tonight. It's work related. We'll talk later?" He didn't even take time to say hello, how are you doing, did you eat dinner, or even something simple but meaningful as I miss you. The phone line became silent. "You there? Hello?" "...Sorry. Yeah. I understand. Be safe." "Yeah." Without even realizing what his wife's next last words would be, he hung up. Those words were, "Honey... I love you."
